Topic: Human Behaviour
Who needs to be Shakespeareian trained? Whay does anyone have to have acting classes? Screw Julliard! You can break into theater just by playing a corpse!
Don't believe me? Then consider the case of Ohio computer nerd Chuck Lamb. He's been playing dead for a long time. It's been his goal and dream to land a role in a movie playing a corpse. Why? Because he realized it's the only way he'll ever get in.
Overweight, balding, and as charismatic as an oyster, Chuck decided that the only way he'd be able to play a convincing role in film was if he could convince people that he was dead. So he went with that. And it's not a difficult role. Most peoples' dogs can play dead. But this guy can actually get people to call 911.
He has a web site too... http://www.deadbodyguy.com. Appropriately, it's got a lot of dead links.
Well, they look dead, anyway. They may just be pretending.
